>> i say to my friend jim talent those are good talking points but the reality is when president obama became the president, the month he took the oath of office this country had lost almost 800,000 jobs. he's not responsible for that. and he's not attacking private equity and he's not attacking free enterprise. he's simply attacking what rick perry called vulture capitalism where investors geteally, really rich by buying companies, loading them up with debt, driving them into bankruptcy, taking away jobs and pensions and health care from workers but mitt romney and his associates at bain capital walked away with multiple millions of dollars. that's what the president is talking about and this is not a distraction. this is going to be the central part of the campaign-- as it ought to be. which of these two candidates has demonstrated a concern for working people? and my con tension is that mitt romneyas looked out for his investors but he hasn't really cared for the workers. >> woodruff: senator talent, there are workers who are quoted in these ads, senator talent, who are saying some

do you have any idea what president obama plans to do on day one? i know he's given speeches but you don't have a sense of why he wants-- what is he burning to do? and romney is so lost that-- and you can see it with all these things have happened. he's pretending to be someone he's not. charlie, you and i could have a conversation for two hours and have a conversation about this subject. relations between jews and arabs is a very sensitive subject. we could talk about this for two hours and i would never get in trouble. i would never cross the line because my feelings about that is i don't know what i think and why i think it. romney, the reason he keeps falling out of the ring is that's what happens when you're pretending to be something you're not. there's nothing organic about any of this and you could see it at the republican convention. it was very obvious to me. he is renting this party to fulfill his dream to become president and they're renting him to get rid of barack obama. but there is no organic connection. how many republicans have you

leaders toward president obama change? >> unlike 2006, 2008, '10 there is no partisan wave. while we began the cycle with congress' low ratings and all these incumbents are going to lose we don't see it now. i wouldn't be shocked with anything from a wash in the house to a democratic gain of ten seats. they need 25. it doesn't sound too far from 25. but it is. there's not enough districts in play for the democrats >> woodruff: it's fascinating most incumbents will be re-elected >> it looks like we're going back to the old story of my incumbent is okay. it's all the other ones who are bad. >> woodruff: we are delighted to have the two of you, stu rothenberg, susan page, thank you >> thanks . >> suarez: now to syria, where the death toll continues to climb. and there are new reports that most of the weapons sent to aid the rebellion are ending up in the hands of islamic extremists. smoke mingled with sunset in aleppo, syria's largest city, as block-by-block battles rage between president bashar al assad fighters and rebels.
